Throughout the 1880s, a fortuitous combination of low interest rates and advances in
telecommunications and shipbuilding, including low freight charges and refrigerated cargo holds,
created the perfect conditions for a global capital flow boom. As British investors, private and
public, sought lucrative opportunities abroad, it was estimated that British capital export had
reached a peak of £80 million by 1890 (5.5% of GDP). British merchant banks played a pivotal
role in this export in their financial role as acceptance houses for commercial trading bills.
Their acceptances (guarantees) were globally utilized so that they “underpinned the international
market in sterling bills.” London merchant banks had portfolios spanning the world, from
Russia to Canada, but it was Argentina, with its rich land and pampas ripe for overseas
investment, that accounted for 40 to 50% of British capital investment. Barings led British and
European banks in financing development projects in Latin America, channeling an impressive
£13.6 million into Argentina alone between 1888 and 1890. By comparison, the bank in second
place invested only £4.5 million in Argentina. 18 A number of other banks had smaller
investments. Sensing lucrative returns on the horizon, Barings voraciously invested in several
Argentine railroads and other land and utilities projects, exposing itself to greater risk than any of
its rivals. It had also gotten in the precarious business of underwriting risky Argentine bonds on a
massive scale. By 1890, three-fourths of the loans in the Barings portfolio were from Argentina
and Uruguay.
